1/ People are hardwired for connection to a higher power. If you don’t provide a genuine spiritual conversation, people become more vulnerable to a counterfeit version.

2/ People are hardwired for dedication to tribe. If you don’t provide a genuinely patriotic conversation, people become more vulnerable to a nationalistic version.

3/ People have an instinctive way of knowing when somebody’s not telling the real truth. If you don’t provide the space for radically genuine truth-telling, people become vulnerable to conspiratorial lies.

So you support Trump pushing to allow church services? Why not just come out and say that directly?
Replying to @marwilliamson
Marianne's followers will not tolerate dissent. Sad. Their de facto higher power is the internet. They can't admit it.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Define spiritual please? And if it’s just a warm feeling inside, then this is meaningless. And if it just means mindfulness, empathy, and connection, then maybe use those or similar. Many of us are sick of super natural snake oil.

ONLY connecting to the right Source can provide the Healing and the Help. #KINGofkings #Lordoflords ANYTHING else will NOT work.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Thank you for speaking the truth. We desperately need more of that. Gosh i wish you had stayed in the race. Im so tired of rich old white mysogonistic men running our country. We need more women and minorities in office desperately.
Replying to @marwilliamson
How do you determine which ones are counterfeit and which ones are not? From my perspective, there’s no reliable method to differentiate between the two. ?
Replying to @marwilliamson
Nope, I am hardwired to be skeptical of most things. There's no "higher power", everyone knows that. People can believe whatever they want, but folks who believe in a "sky god" have some mental issues if you ask me. Just an opinion.

which is why people gravitated to Trump!But, that spiritual/patriotic conversation and truth was already available. People chose the counterfeit, nationalistic, lies because it was what they already believed in or wanted to hear.
